Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Michael Nemo

I adore this film. In the theater it was amazing. The submarine scene in IMAX was impressive. Not a perfect film. But an fun summer popcorn movie imo.

Steve Mercier

A damn good finale with all the check marks one needs...except for Ilsa Faust.

I know I'm in the minority here, but the end of this series is so ridiculously stupid I can barely fathom it. The way they retcon items from the early films due to the prevailing need to make this a "universe" is insulting. The first three films are disparate from one another because there was never an intention to make this a continuous storyline. Before anyone brings this up, you can have characters resurface in later films simply because they're reliable teammates. That Luther or Benji show up later does NOT mean it's a continuous, flowing story. They very, very clearly came up with ways to squeeze early stuff back into the story because today's audiences have this ridiculous need for everything to connect. I realize I'm going to take a ton of flak here, but I don't care. I found this movie and Dead Reckoning dumb and contrived the first time I saw them and upon rewatch it's only clearer to me that the desperation of the filmmakers to connect to new audience expectations leads to a huge mess. Sorry, not sorry.

Watching you guys discuss your rankings is making me imagine a 5 hour video where you rank all 26 James Bond films (the titles are actually more memorable after you've seen them). That said, there would be no shame in just doing a quick run of only the Daniel Craig ones. There's a more defined narrative arc to those.

Jason Dolan

I'm going to need to watch Mission Impossible with you.... one last time.

Jason Dolan

Between Jules, Ilsa and Grace.... Ethan Hunt definitely has a type! I think you know Ethan has also only known Grace for 2 months or so therefore these two films ARE their meet cute. I think also Tom is doing those stunts for real too so its okay if he repeats them

Jason Dolan

My ranking is: S-TIER Rogue Nation Fallout Ghost Protocol Final Reckoning Knoc List Dead Reckoning STILL SOLID Rabbits Foot Chymera

Jason Dolan

Just to clear up the Ferguson thing - she didn't want OUT as much as she was just contractually obliged to the DUNE SEQUEL and her show SILO and other movies - and i think it was Dune Part Two that was really what was in the way of her doing both movies - so they just decided to make her character the sacrficical lamb to give the movie weight but they needed that female opposite Cruise so Grace was created - I totally hear these criticisms and I think you know in a perfect world Ilsa and Grace are this love triangle through both movies with Cruise and Ilsa winding up together but practicality derailed that... it wasn't why Robert Duvall wasn't in The Godfather Part III or anything THAT bad. haha

There are rumblings out there (RUMORS) that they are working on a new Mission Impossible movie. It's probably just that... RUMOR. But I've seen a couple of articles out there about it. Great reaction! I can't wait for Alejandro G. Iñárritu (The Revenant) to direct Tom Cruise in his upcoming movie later this year.

This doesn't hold up for me. As Daniel correctly guessed back in Ghost Protocol, they wanted the Dubai contact to be Max from the original movie, which is why her blonde henchman with the mask appears, but Paramount wouldn't pay for Vanessa Redgrave to make a cameo, they wanted Maggie Q and Paula Patton back for previous installments and it didn't work out. It's true that these two movies being An Ending creates an air of additional effort, and I would potentially agree that the idea that Ethan is supposedly *responsible* seems like too much, but I don't have a problem with the Rabbit's Foot turning out to have been a proto-Entity, especially because what McQuarrie is drawing on with that is what Benji says in *that film* about "the Anti-God" and nothing else. The connection is made in this movie, but McQuarrie doesn't *add* more detail to it, he just recalls the detail that was already written in a way that connects the dots. McQuarrie has been working on these movies since Ghost Protocol, which is where the connectivity started stretching beyond Luther. It's the one where they brought back characters like Benji and Julia, and the one where they tried to work in Max. Julia then also returns in Fallout, along with The White Widow being established as Max's daughter. I think the connectivity can be traced to him, and as such, it's been part of the series since 2011.

It's only so subtle, given The Entity is an AI, but while I agree that Dead Reckoning and The Final Reckoning are imperfect movies, I think they have an interesting thematic message and importance for Cruise himself as the specter of AI looms over the movie industry. "Don't listen to this fanatic. Help him, and you'll die too. Help him, everyone dies." Back when Cruise made the first Mission in 1996, a mainstream summer franchise film like that was kind of an outlier in his career of adult-skewing dramas. Now, big flashy franchise movies are most of what you get out of Hollywood. In this landscape, writers like Christopher McQuarrie are forced to become smugglers, building popcorn movies with substance buried in the foundation. Rogue Nation covers a villainous enemy "designed to do what we do" -- a sly jab, perhaps, at fellow long-running franchises like Avengers, Fast & Furious, and Bourne. In Fallout, John Lark's manifesto "the greater the suffering, the greater the peace" might as well refer to his star's seemingly infinite desire to deliver another unbelievable, physically taxing stunt for the audience. And so we arrive at Dead/Final Reckoning, in which the powers that be find themselves forced to go back to physical media and old-fashioned methods in order to escape a malicious AI that believes it knows what everyone wants and means to beat everyone to the punch. One imagines Cruise's meetings with executives might look like the one in Dead Reckoning, between Ethan, the White Widow, Grace, Ilsa, and Gabriel, in which the Widow must decide who to entrust the future to: Gabriel's malicious, faceless algorithm, or Ethan Hunt, whose position as the world's most dedicated spy is perhaps metaphorically similar to being the world's last major movie star. In Final Reckoning, the nations represent the studios, each one too afraid of the idea that someone else could take over with the tech to simply go offline. The result is a stand-off that could simply destroy the entire industry from within, while anyone on the ground has to deal with the various AI acolytes pushing for an embrace of the artificial. In the end, Luther's voice-over reminds us: "Any hope for a better future comes from willing that future into being." You could call it thin for what is essentially a five-hour movie (and I agree that FR could be shorter), but it's hard to deny that Cruise, in his own way, is committed to the philosophy that putting something authentic on screen is what makes movies worth watching -- and I also appreciate that Final Reckoning makes the point of underlining that even if Cruise/Hunt is the leader, it requires the contributions of many other people who believe in the same things and want to work toward the same goal, for the good of everyone, for him to accomplish the impossible. Also, I still really think the solution to Ilsa is to make it clear that she cares more about following her own compass than living or dying. To not save Grace, that would be against her nature. You could even do it in a single line and look before that final fight scene, where Gabriel says something to the effect that Ilsa is right where he wants her to be. She looks uncertain, then she looks resolved. I also think it would have been good to work into FR somewhere, the idea that in the end, Ilsa instinctively understood that it was Grace who would be needed for the end, and that a willing sacrifice was a key chess move in ultimately defeating Gabriel. I do agree that kicking Gabriel into his death would probably be better. The whole final sequence is incredible but one part that needs to be underlined is the fact that he did the part where his parachute burns up for real. He actually did it, I think, 14 times, setting a Guinness World Record. He asked to do it one more time, and McQuarrie refused, saying it was the scariest stunt they had attempted on any of the M:I movies, and the one he couldn't actually watch. Last but not least, I do think it's worth taking into consideration that I think COVID delays impacted both of these final films, and I wonder what they'd have been like without those issues.

Looking into this, I cannot find anyone reputable reporting this; it seems to have been sourced back to a gossip columnist and is mostly being repeated by junk outlets.

7 didn't do great at the box office so the studio went for the kitchen sink approach for 8, trying to reel in people who hadn't seen the previous movies, which is stupid because now you're explaining what's happened in 7 films AND trying to wrap it all up. It's too overloaded and clunky. The sub sequence is great though, I'll give it that.

Brandon

I really enjoyed these last two movies as well. They're near the bottom for me, though like Daniel and Sam. To me, MI:2 is the worst one, even though I also like it. The spy stuff in that one is pretty tame, with a major focus on action instead. Even though I like it, it's still an outlier in the franchise. There's a part of me that just wishes that they carried on with The Syndicate as the main threat. Even with Solomon Lane and John Lark gone, they could have found a way to keep going with it. The Entity didn't really do it for me. I agree with Daniel that Gabriel went from being menacing in Part One to kind of cartoonish in Final Reckoning. I also regret that we never saw Jeremy Renner again. Also Paula Patton as Jane from Ghost Protocol was one of the highlights of that whole film. As much as I like Grace, it would have been awesome to have Thandiwe Newton return as Naya. Her skills as a thief would have been a perfect fit. The added tension of her and Ethan having once been an item could have been great, especially before Ilsa dies in Part One. It also itches my brain that they called Dead Reckoning "Part One", but then did not put "Part Two" in the title of the final film. 😆

My favourite Tom Cruise movies are Oblivion, Vanilla Sky and Magnolia so highly recommend those! (and War of the Worlds but I think you've seen that)

"There's only ONE parachute!" 🤣 That was a hell of a ride. Incredible films, but this one definitely hit on the emotional aspect as it was the last one (so to speak). But, FUCK, that submarine scene was intense and terrifying. It was like thalassophobia, claustrophobia, nyctophobia AND megalophobia all combined. Tom Cruise is insane for that segment alone. I'm sad that Luther was killed off, as he was my favorite character next to Ethan and Benji, but a sacrifice was expected. Overall, I'm glad I got to watch all of these with you guys. Thank you for the reactions.

Jen Barnes

I enjoyed a lot of parts of this movie, but it did seem like it was 80% exposition. My ranking is 6>5>4>8>7>1>3>2

Yep too me the last two are all about the big stunts. Not much plot. Too me Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation and Fallout are my favs. Then i go the first one. Then the last two. And mission impossble 2.
